Ace sat beside me. “Why you counting my pockets?”

“I’m not. I just wanna know if I’m supposed to be impressed.”

“You are impressed.”

“I haven’t decided yet.”

“Lying ass.”

As the boat pulled away, Ace stretched his arm across the seat. “Come here.”

“I’m fine.”

“Kema.”

I rolled my eyes and moved closer, resting against his side. He wrapped his arm around me and kissed the top of my head. The farther we traveled the more relaxed I became. “This is nice,” I admitted.

“Only nice?”

“Don’t push it Ace.”

He grabbed a strawberry from the fruit tray. “Open.”

“Ouweee Princess Treatment.”

“You know it. Now open.”

I did, and he placed it against my lips. “You like being bossy.”

“You like listening. Good girl.”

My pussy throbbed. I wanted so desperately to be a brat at this moment but hearing good girl shut me up. So I rolled my eyes.

“Oh you quiet now. At least that shut you up.”

I nodded my head. Ace laughed, looking more relaxed than he had since we arrived in Cancún. “Why did you do all this?”

“I wanted time alone with you.”

“We’re alone in the room every night.”

“That’s different. Soon as we walk outside, Kel is watching you. I just needed time with just us.”

My chest tightened. “So this isn’t part of the fake dating plan?”

“Nah.”

“What is it?”

“A date.”

I simpered, “a real one?”

“Does that scare you?”

“No.”

“Then why you looking at me like that?”
